The series 'Studies' explores some of the world’s oldest living bacteria. Apart from the visual effect of these formations, they are also incredibly mysterious, they remind me what life might look like on another planet. The more I photographed and studied these Thermophiles (Latin for heat-loving bacteria), I realized there was very little scientific information about them. We know they are some of the oldest living organisms in the world, dating back 3 billion years. They are called Thermophiles and they live and thrive in extreme environments. Rather than presenting the wide shot, increasingly I have focused on the micro shot, zoning in on smaller worlds that often get overlooked. I try to frame and represent the landscape in a more abstract and untraditional manner. I aim to frame images free from any points of reference, focusing on formations, perspective, and scale. By doing so, the images have an abstract quality and allow the imagination to free itself from the constraints of reference, encouraging the viewer to become more present in their experience of the images.
